Honey Cashew Green Beans

I was asked to cook a huge bag of frozen green beans for a funeral luncheon. I couldn't just take plain green beans. So I went to allrecipes.com and found this delicious recipe to fancy up the green beans. The recipe called for fresh green beans, but frozen worked beautifully.

1/2 lb. green beans or a bag frozen

Big handful of coarsely chopped cashews

1/2 stick of butter

1 heaping T. honey

Steam or cook beans in water until desired softness. While they're cooking, heat a small skillet and saute the cashews in the butter for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Stir in the honey. Put cooked beans in a serving bowl and pour nut mixture over the top. Stir until all are well coated.
